April 12, 2013 By Graham Tappenden Leave a Comment

An attempt to steal a 30 litre barrel of beer on Monday morning (8th April, 2013) did not go as planned for the 29-year-old thief who, according to police, was already drunk when tried to leave the drinks store in the Taunusstraße in Stierstadt.

One of the employees of the shop unlocked the door, only for the thief to run straight into him. Apparently he made an unsuccessful attempt to attack the employee, only to fall over whilst trying to leave via the courtyard at the rear of the building.

He was held down and handed over to police on their arrival.
